    Here goes my first post to this group.

    After the ecommerce shopping bloomed, I was seeing lots and lots of cardboard boxes in variety of sizes, laying in my colleagues' desks.....flipkart/amazon/snapdeal boxes were just piled up and it was tempting and drawing my attention to do some justice on my part.

    I wanted to reuse them for storing household stuffs (crayons/mobile chargers/adapters/remote controls/etc/etc)....but I didnt want to use it as it is. So I wrapped it with fabric. It wasn't easy as it sounded initially....tried out different ways of wrapping to get perfection and also tried with different designs.
    My colleagues started dumping all their boxes in my desk knowing that I am doing some craft activity and i was wrapping their boxes and giving it back to them for reuse.

    All I used was fabric glue(or fevicol) and fabric(bought cheap ones from local store...asked for last bit pieces which they give for lesser price...sometimes, reused my discarded dhupatta/bedsheet/curtain cloths...even my mom's complimentary blouse pieces that she gets).

    Here are my boxes.

    Cheers
    Deepa

    Another box(es) that I wrapped using my very old discarded lemon-yellow lace dhupatta. Used plain fabrics as lining cloth. This was little tough as both the fabrics were sliding and had tough time to make it stand together.

    Few more recycled boxes....this time, I reused the shoe boxes too, as they had a lid and wrapped up the lid.
